Australian First-time Passport Fees

From 1 January 2025, the standard 10‑year Australian passport for adults (aged 16+) costs AUD 412—up from AUD 398. The 5‑year passport for seniors (75+) or children (under 16) is now AUD 208, an increase from the previous AUD 201.

If applying from overseas, there is an overseas surcharge of AUD 184 for adults and seniors, and AUD 90 for children under 16.

Australian Passport Renewal Fees

I want to renew my Australian passport, how much will it cost? – In 2025, Australian passport renewal fees are the same as for first-time applications: AUD 412 for a standard adult passport.

If you need a new passport more than two years before your current one expires—for example, due to a name or gender change—you may be eligible for a “replacement” passport. These typically cost less than standard passports and are sometimes issued free of charge, but they are only valid until the original passport’s expiry date.

Australian passport name change cost in 2025 depends on several factors:

• If the change is due to marriage, divorce, or entering/leaving a de facto relationship, the replacement passport is issued free of charge.
• If you cannot provide proof of an eligible reason for the name change, the replacement passport will cost AUD 260.

Australian Passport Fees for Minors

In 2025, the cost of passports for minors and babies in Australia has increased to AUD 208. If applying from overseas, an additional surcharge of AUD 90 will apply to children’s passport applications.

Urgent Passport Fees in Australia

If you need your passport urgently in 2025, you can pay an additional fee for expedited processing. The current fees for faster service in Australia are as follows:

• Australian passport fast-track fee (5 business days) – AUD 111 extra
• Priority processing fee (2 business days) – AUD 265 extra
